I bought this 4X4 Lariat Ranger. Came with after market 20" rims and tires 285/55/R20. I am getting about 17.5 MPG. :frown: Need someone to tell me what they are actually getting with the 18" rim and tires 265/60/R18. Really debating if I should down size my rims and tires. Bought the truck for towing and the occasional snow in the winter. Thanks for your help. :cool:

I have 8800+ miles on my 2020 Ranger. Bought brand new and I average 23.5MPG weekly using it for daily driving (mix of short trips, backroads, and highway). On highways or longer trips I get close to 26. FX4 Supercrew.

Jkocot what size are your rims and tires. and can you send me a picture of the side of your truck so I can see how they look. And did you put AT tires on the truck?

I’m running LT 275/70/r17 Firestone destination xt, I noticed a hit before I calibrated my speedo with forscan, since the recalibration was done Fuelly app and truck say I’m getting 21.5MPG. About a 13 km drive to work each morning, booting up fireroads and warm ups in the morning. I live in a very hilly part of British Columbia.
